Joints of upper limb Flashcards
List three types of joint
1.fibrous joints
2.cartilaginous joints
3.synovial joints
What example and characteristics fibrous joint
suture- bones of skull
syndesmosis- between tibia and fibula
gomphosis- between tooth and alveolar socket
- no movement
-bones united by fibrous tissue
what example and characteristics cartilaginous joints
synchondrosis- primary, hyaline cartilage , temporary union, replaced by bone ; epiphyseal plate
symphysis- secondary, fibrocartilage is separated from the bone by thin plates of hyaline cartilage ;pubic symphysis, intervertebral joints
-slight movement
-bones united by fibrocartilage or hyaline
what is synovial joint and characteristic
-joints contains cavity
-subdivided by fibrous or menisci
-articular surface covered with hyaline cartilage
-bones united by capsule and ligaments
-fibrous capsule lined by a synovial membrane
-free movement
-bones united by articular capsule and ligaments
what is degenerative osteoarthritis
-rubbing of bones
-thinned cartilage
what is inflammatory rheumatoid arthritis
-bone erosion
-inflamed synovial membrane:gout and rheumatoid
What is non axial synovial joint ?
Plane / gliding joint
- articular surface are slightly curved
-Sternoclavicular
-Acromioclavicular
-Intercarpal jt
What is 2 uniaxial joint
-hinge jt
-pivot jt
What diff and example hinge joint and pivot joint
Hinge jt-movement in one plane
-permit flexion and extension
: humero-ulnar , interphalangeal joint
Pivot joint
-permit rotation
-one bones rotates within a bony
:Atlanto, proximal radio-ulnar
What 3 example biaxial synovial joint
Ellipsoid jt
Saddle jt
condyloid jt
what joint articulating surface are much longer in one direction
Radio-carpal joint , biaxial jt
Carpo- metacarpal joint of thumb under what joint?
Saddle joint , biaxial
What characteristics condyloid jt
-consist 2 distinct articular surface, called condyle
-resemble hinge joint
-permit several kind movements
: metacarpo- phalangeal jt
What is multiaxial jt
Ball and Socket jt
- Spherical surface of on bone moves within a socket of the other bone
-3 axes
:shoulder jt and hip jt
Shoulder joint , articulating bones are ?
-large, rounded head of Humerus
-shallow, pear shaped Glenoid fossa of scapula
- glenoid labrum, deepen glenoid cavity by rim of fibrocartilage
Articular capsule of shoulder joint
- margin of glenoid fossa
-anatomical neck of humerus
Capsule of shoulder joint strengthened by ?
-Tendons of rotator cuff
-Glenohumeral ligament
-Transverse humeral ligament
-Coracohumeral ligament
Capsule: thin and lax, allow wide range movement
what the weakest area of shoulder jt and accommodate abduction
Inferior redundant part of capsule
